ADVICE TO SANNYASINS

Swami Sivananda

Every religion has a band of anchorites who lead the life of seclusion and meditation. There are Bikshus in Buddhism, Fakirs in Islam, Sufistic Fakirs in Sufism, Fathers and Reverends in Christianity. The glory of a religion will be absolutely lost if you remove these hermits or Sannyasins or those who lead a life of renunciation and divine contemplation. It is these people who maintain the religions of the world. It is these people who give solace to householders when they are in trouble and distress. They are the harbingers of divine wisdom and peace. They are the messengers of Atmic knowledge and heavenly messages. They are the disseminators of Adhyatmic (spiritual) science and Upanishadic revelations. They heal the sick, comfort the forlorn, nurse the bed-ridden. They bring hope to the hopeless, joy to the depressed, strength to the weak, courage to the timid by imparting the knowledge of Vedanta and the significance of the "Tat Tvam Asi" Mahavakya. 

All men are, by nature, equal. One Atman dwells in all beings. Man is the trinity of body,
mind and soul. Consciousness is veiled by mind and matter. Therefore he is not able to realise his
essential Divine nature. To know one’s essential nature and realise one’s own Divinity is the
fulfilment of the mission of this human life.
SWAMI CHIDANANDA

A true Sannyasin performs his greatest duty not only to one's own country but to the whole world in his widespread comprehensive outlook of all life taken together. The Sannyasin truly is not a human individual but an embodiment of the power of the cosmos in some degree.
